We will promote the healthy, orderly and sustainable development of the hydrogen energy industry

Liu Yafang, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of the National Energy Administration, said that the "Planning" insists on prudent application and demonstration first, adheres to market application as traction, ADAPTS to local conditions, and prudently expands hydrogen energy application scenarios in transportation, energy storage, industry and other fields.

Demonstration applications in the transport sector will be promoted in an orderly manner. Focus on promoting the application of hydrogen fuel cells in heavy-duty vehicles, and constantly expand the market scale of hydrogen energy application in the transportation sector.

Actively carry out demonstration applications in the field of energy storage. Give full play to the advantages of long-term and large-capacity hydrogen energy storage, and explore and cultivate a new integrated application model of "scenery hydropower + hydrogen energy storage".

Rationalize multiple applications in power generation. Distributed hydrogen fuel cell cogeneration facilities will be laid out according to local conditions, and demonstration of hydrogen-electric fusion microgrids will be carried out. Encourage the demonstration application of hydrogen fuel cell communication base stations/backup power supplies, and gradually introduce hydrogen fuel cell applications in finance, hospitals, schools, industrial and mining enterprises and other fields.

Gradually explore alternative applications in the industrial field. We will explore and carry out demonstrations of hydrogen production from renewable energy sources replacing fossil energy in ammonia synthesis, methanol, refining, coal to oil and gas and other industries, and promote the low-carbon and green development of industries with high energy consumption.

The "Plan" requires that the guiding role of investment within the central budget be played well to support the development of hydrogen-related industries. Banking financial institutions are encouraged to support the development of the hydrogen energy industry in accordance with the principles of risk control and commercial sustainability. Support qualified hydrogen energy enterprises in the science and technology innovation board, GEM and other registered listing financing.

Wang Xiang pointed out that when studying and formulating related plans and support policies for the development of the hydrogen energy industry, all localities should fully consider the regional development foundation and conditions, make overall planning and reasonable layout, and do not go in one step. "It is strictly prohibited to blindly follow the trend and rush forward regardless of local reality to prevent low-level repetitive construction." It is strictly prohibited to "run horses and enclosure land" in the name of building hydrogen energy projects. It is strictly prohibited to compare with each other in terms of hydrogen industry planning, investment scale, investment promotion and project construction."
